> WAKE UP
You wake up with a start, the sound of multiple notifications ringing through your headphones as you sit upright. Looking around, you find that you must have fallen asleep at your desk. It's been nearly a week since this game started, and you've not slept much in that time.
You last recall staring at the screen, your eyes fluttering shut occasionally. Your friend, Evan, had gone out to 'ascend', which as far as you could tell is a much nicer way of saying 'die on some sacrificial slab out in whatever wasteland you've been summoned into'. He was one of the last to go through the process, and you wanted to make sure he got through alright. He's not weak or anything, but you felt uneasy not keeping track.
The screen shows several messages from Evan. You rub the sleep out of your eyes.
CA: hey so
CA: when you woke up after dying did you experience anything really fucking weird
CA: like
CA: did anything change
CV: No.
CV: Did something happen?
CA: god this is going to sound fucking crazy
CA: but i really want you to trust me on this because this really happened
CV: Evan, I'll believe you, but seriously just tell me what's going on.
CA: okay
CA: i did everything the way i was supposed to, and i woke up in this weird place like you said you did, but
CA: when i woke up
CA: i wasn't the same.
CA: i couldn't see shit in front of my face, and i found these glasses in my pocket that seem to help.
CA: i've never worn glasses.
CV: Is that it? That's weird but I think you shouldn't worry about it
CA: yeah the glasses aren't the most major thing but i'm getting to the point, okay?
CA: sorry if i'm being really aggressive but i'm seriously freaking out right now.
CV: Calm down.
CV: Take a few deep breaths or something.
CA: alright
CA: so i felt really off, and once i grabbed the glasses and the phone out of my pocket i decided to look through at myself camera since that was the only thing close to a mirror that i had
CA: and once i flipped the camera i didn't see me. i saw this girl
CA: and i think i fucking turned into a girl at some point between me ascending and me waking up here
CV: You're alright, though, other than that?
CA: other than panicking, yes.
CV: Okay, I think it'd be best if we discussed this in-person, although I understand that's a bit difficult since you're pretty far away from me.
CA: i'll work on that.
CA: if i can find something here to get there
You had a feeling that something might go wrong, but you weren't expecting this. You sigh slightly at this complication. You have a feeling it's going to be a long day.
> BE SOMEONE ELSE
You are now Evan, at least you think that's who you are. You still feel like him, so you're pretty sure you're still him. It's kind of difficult to tell, honestly. You've just woken up on THE BATTLEFIELD, and you're trying to not freak out over several sudden changes to your body.
Ultimately you decide the best thing to do would be to get up and focus on getting to your friend rather than focusing on how strange you feel. The ground surrounding you is covered in a checkerboard pattern, and you can see what seems to be mountains and lakes in the distance
Well, you're not sure quite how you're going to get home or even to your friend. You're pretty open to any suggestions any strange impulsive voices in your head may have.
